  • Patent number: 11467045
    Abstract: A calibration setup for calibrating a temperature sensor includes a temperature calibrator, a temperature measuring unit connected to the temperature sensor, a camera unit configured to detect a measured temperature value and to transmit the measured temperature value to a storage medium in the temperature calibrator. A method of calibrating a temperature sensor using the calibration setup includes heating the temperature sensor to a first calibration temperature; detecting a first temperature value by the camera unit; transmitting the first temperature value from the camera unit to a storage medium in the temperature calibrator; heating the temperature sensor to at least a second calibration temperature; detecting a second temperature value by the camera unit; transmitting the second temperature value from the camera unit to the storage medium; and displaying the detected and stored temperature values on a calibrator indicator display in a respective association with the calibration temperatures.

  • Patent number: 11333536
    Abstract: A flow meter for measuring the flow velocity of a fluid includes a measurement tube that is axially bounded by at least one flange end and that forms a measurement space that can be flowed through by the fluid. At least one baffle is provided for generating interference in the flow, wherein the baffle is arranged in the measurement space. A detector for detecting the interference is arranged downstream of the baffle. An insertion element is introduced into the measurement tube and has a base portion. The base portion is arranged in the flange end. The insertion element has brackets that adjoin the base portion and that project into the measurement space, with the baffle being formed and its position in the measurement space being held between the brackets.

  • Patent number: 11243123
    Abstract: A temperature calibrator for calibrating temperature function devices has an outer and an inner housing as well as a calibrator block. The calibrator block is radially spaced from the inner housing to form a flow space. The flow space is in communication with the environment at the upper end and at the lower end to generate a flow. A fan having a fan wheel that can be driven by a motor is connected to the flow space. The fan wheel is formed from a heat-resistant material; and the fan forms a predominantly closed surface in a plan view.

  • Patent number: 11002583
    Abstract: A flow measurement method for optical measurement of a volume flow of a fluid in a closed cross-section, and a flow measurement device for this purpose, has at least one light source and at least one sensor unit. Particles present in the fluid are detected within a measurement plane by the sensor unit. At least one measurement plane and the particles present therein are illuminated with the light source. The sensor unit is provided with at least two or with a plurality of individual detectors with which sensor signals are outputted. A computing unit is connected downstream of the sensor unit, with which the sensor signals are processed in real time by integrating and weighting the individual signals of the individual detectors using a spatial-filtering technique and outputted as an output signal.
